How should I use Polymyxin B?

This medicine is injected into a muscle, spinal fluid, or infused through a vein by a health care professional. It can also be given in the eye. Sometimes, this medicine is mixed with an irrigation solution which is then used to treat the skin. Follow the directions of your health care professional and the prescription label. Do not use your medicine more often than directed.

Talk to your pediatrician regarding the use of this medicine in children. Special care may be needed.

Overdosage: If you think you have taken too much of Polymyxin B contact a poison control center or emergency room at once. NOTE: Polymyxin B is only for you. Do not share Polymyxin B with others.

What if I miss a dose?

If you miss a dose, take it as soon as you can. If it is almost time for your next dose, take only that dose. Do not take double or extra doses.
